Indonesia’s corn imports in the first half of this year reached 1.3 million tonnes, Desianto Budi Utomo, Secretary General of the Indonesian Feedmill Association informed Asian Agribiz. “Last year Indonesia’s corn imports reached 1.5 million tonnes. From the data of corn demand we collected and calculated from feedmills, this year Indonesia is predicted to import 2.8 million tonnes of corn.” Mr Utomo hopes the government will not only focus on improving corn productivity, but on improving the infrastructure in corn producing areas.
